Letter: How would Ruiz have voted?

It actually happened! The House and Senate finally agreed on two things before leaving for their summer recess: condemnation of the Hamas terror group and more financial support for Israel’s life saving Iron Dome defense system. However, they failed again to pass a House bill dealing with the immigration crisis.

Regrettably, as recently reported by The Desert Sun, our own Congressman Raul Ruiz was not present to cast his vote on these important matters. I trust the congressman’s absence was due to legitimate reasons, so I remain puzzled as to why the congressman refuses to answer how he would have voted had he been there.

Don’t we, his constituents have the right to know and understand his position on Hamas, on support for Israel or on how to deal with immigration in regard to these bills? I say we do! So I join The Desert Sun and respectfully ask, “Congressman Ruiz, how would you have voted on these bills?”
